That's a great tool stevie, I suppose if you get a bit you can't quite reach you can just get it swinging lol.

oh cool, good work mate

[Dean Lofthouse]

enlighten me mate:biggrin:

 

For every force there is an equal and opposite force.

 

In other words, if you use the push side of the chainsaw or the pull side of the chainsaw the basket will be spinning about like a cat on speed. Try to push into the hedge with trimmer, the baskets spins........nightmare..........but I'm sure you already found that out

[Stephen Blair]

yes we did dean, but like everything there is a knack to it. but a mewp would of been so much better for the job thats for sure

The torque from a 200t will spin even a very large heavy crane basket, as theres little friction on the hook.

when hedge cutting the secret was to just go with it, as lond as you werent cutting in to deep at a time it was ok, or just do very fast short movements, but yes it was decided that 1 lad holding the basket was a lot better

it moves about a hell of a lot, that was the only problem hanging out the back, we opted for it over the body and the other lad held it in place, and most of the stuff fell into the back of the truck

 

would it not of been better to have a few guy ropes to all corners of wagon then he could of been cleaning up instead of holding in place

just a thought:thumbup:

Good use of available equipment and a lot better than fannying about up steps or scaffold. Nice work.
